Why Did You Become a Fertility Expert?
I first decided to go into Reproductive Endocrinology because the specialty offers a nice mix of medicine and surgery that really complemented my skills. But more importantly, I love the privilege of being part of one of the most transformative aspects of many people’s lives, becoming parents.
What About Boston IVF Makes You Proud?

We have a common goal of helping patients through the challenges of treatment.
What is Your Approach to Patient Care?
Many patients struggle with the ups and downs of fertility treatment. It’s sometimes tricky to immediately pinpoint where they need help. My usual approach is to be as available as possible to my patients and take the time to truly listen to them. Although this may seem simple, asking and listening is crucial. Then, with the help of my clinical team and psychology colleagues, I can typically assist patients to receive the care they deserve.
Have Any Patients Truly Inspired You?
Patients inspire me every day with their grace under pressure. Despite the difficulty of infertility treatments, so many patients are kind and selfless throughout the process. Their positive attitude inspires me to continue to work harder to help them achieve their goals of parenthood.
